I don't know about you, but I am glad that the holidays are over. Even though I enjoyed the holidays, it's time to get back to a normal lifestyle. I usually don't make resolutions. I have goals. One of my goals for the year are to get back to my normal weight. My foot is probably about 90% normal now. I'm hoping to start an exercise program in the next couple of weeks. Today, I started back on my healthy eating program. Believe it or not, it was easy. My main goal is to return to "ME". I feel like since I broke my foot 14 months ago that I have just let myself go.

Friday night when I got to my mother's house, she was finishing up a great meal. She served pork chops, mashed potatoes, pinto beans, crowder peas, slaw, cornbread and rolls. My sister, brother-in-law and their two children joined us. After they left, it started pouring down rain and rained until about 10:00 am New Years Day. Normally Bo wakes us up at 6:30 for his morning walk. He never woke us up. We slept in until 7:30. My mother got dressed to take him outside and he wouldn't go out. She pulled on his leash and he just stayed put. She finally took him out the front door where there is more of an eave and he did his thing out there. He does not like to get wet. We watched the Tournament of Roses Parade. After the parade, my mother watched the Capital One Bowl while I read. Saturday night, we watched the Hot in Cleveland marathon on TVLand. We laughed out loud for 3 hours.

Today was a regular day at work. After work, I came home and made a big pot of vegetable soup. I haven't eaten vegetable soup in a few weeks. It tasted so good.

I forgot that GREEK was starting a new season tonight. I missed the first 15 minutes. I think it will be easy to catch up. After it goes off, I will watch Hawaii Five-O. I recorded Masterpiece Theatre last night, but I am afraid to watch it. A co-worker told me it was sad. I don't do sad.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday. Good luck with the resolutions.
